Pathmap is a library for resolving paths. Example
>>> from pathmap import resolve_paths
>>> toc = ',a/b/c,'
>>> paths = ['b/c']
>>> list(resolve_paths(toc, paths))
['a/b/c']
Pathmap searches for paths using lower case keys only but it stores the original value of each path added to the tree. This way we can search for two identical paths with different casing
>>> from pathmap import resolve_paths
>>> toc = ',a/b/C,A/B/c,'
>>> paths = ['A/b/C','a/B/c']
>>> list(resolve_paths(toc, paths))
['a/b/C', 'A/B/c']
When resolving paths it may happen that we get a partial path. For example searching for the path "two/three.py" in a tree that contains the path "dist/one/two/three.py". Pathmap will continue searhing for a possible match until it hits the end of the current sequence but only if there is a single possible result.
For example if we add to our example
toc = '''
dist/one/two/three.py
dist/another/two/three.py
'''
With this toc we would construct a tree that looks something like this
three.py
|
two
| |
one another
| |
dist dist
Now when we hit the branch containing the key "two" we have two possible options, either we resolve the path to "dist/one/two/three.py" or "dist/another/two/three.py". In this case pathmap will not resolve the path and simply return None.
